5th Team/Vets
Sandbach started the match playing with an urgency they do not always display, pressurizing Whitchurch throughout the first half and making the most of the advantage gained by the elements. Despite this, a momentary lapse of concentration saw them go a penalty goal behind. They soon reversed this and scored three tries - one in the most timely manner, just seconds before the half-time whistle. In the second half, Whitchurch judiciously rearranged their pack and took advantage of the pitch slope to gain most of the territorial advantage. In the main, however, the Sandbach defence was solid and Whitchurch scored just one try. Sandbach replied with a penalty to seal the match. Man-of-the-Match: Simon Battersby Scorers: Simon Battersby (2T) Huw Griffiths (1P,3C) Steve Roe (1T)
